And now for something completely different

According to a popular Penn State Football Blog Penn State coach Joe Paterno expressed rage at being asked by Harrisburg Patriot's Bob Flounders question about possibly being fired for a 2-6 season to-date

Flounders asked Paterno if he thinks he deserves to be back as coach next season with the team at 2-6, yadda, yadda, yadda... you know the piling negatives by now. Paterno responded with expected hostility and the bullying tactics that have become common during the team's downward spiral.

"I don't appreciate that question. After 55 years in coaching I don't deserve to be asked that question."

Maybe after the first losing season in 2000 you didn't deserve to be asked that question, maybe after 2001, and possibly following 2003 (not likely). But after the team clinched its fourth losing season in five years with a setback at Ohio State Saturday, you deserve to be asked that question.

What an asshole.
